What does the 50% chance mean? Does it always place a block?

No, it doesn't always place. Each throw has a 50% chance of placing a dirt block where it lands. If it misses the roll, nothing happens and the item is consumed. Bring a good stack so you're not constantly running back to craft more.

Do I need Fabric API installed separately?

Yes. Throwable Dirt requires both Fabric Loader and Fabric API. Download Fabric API and place it in your mods folder alongside this mod before launching.

What Minecraft versions does Throwable Dirt support?

Throwable Dirt supports Minecraft 1.21 and 1.21.1. It only runs on Fabric, so Forge and NeoForge are not supported.

How do I craft Throwable Dirt?

Combine a dirt block with a snowball in a crafting grid. That's the full recipe. You'll need a steady snowball supply if you plan to use a lot of them.

Can I use this mod alongside other Fabric mods?

Generally yes. It's a simple mod that adds one item, so conflicts are unlikely. Just make sure all your mods are on the same Minecraft version and that Fabric API is installed.

Throwable Dirt Mod (1.21.1, 1.21) - Throw Dirt Blocks

This mod adds one thing: a throwable version of dirt you can chuck like a snowball. When it lands, there’s a 50% chance it places a dirt block right at the point of impact. Small mod, but it solves a real problem when you need to fill a gap across a ravine or patch a ledge you can’t reach by hand.

What It Does

The mod adds a craftable item called Throwable Dirt. You throw it in an arc, it travels dozens of blocks, and on landing it has a coin-flip chance to place a dirt block. That 50% chance means you’ll want to bring a full stack, not just a few. Miss or get unlucky and nothing happens, no block placed, no item returned.

It’s niche, but in survival it’s actually useful. Bridging by hand over a big gap is slow and dangerous. Throwing dirt across first gives you something to work with.

Crafting Recipe
